I thought Rush was actually pretty funny and entertaining back in the day. I first listened to him at the tail end of ‘89 or ‘90 and he was pretty outrageous for the time & subject matter. His phone calls were hilarious and the only two guests I ever recall were Ted Nugent and his 100 year old(?) grandfather, otherwise he was completely solo for all his shows. His politics didn’t matter so much as he was funny and provocative the way he’d wind people up. By the mid 90’s I didn’t find his show all that interesting and the old humor seemed to be gone. He was a titan in an industry that likely won’t see his sort of influence ever again, meaning terrestrial radio, of which I was a huge fan of the AM talk format growing up.

I was largely unaware of him, other than knowing he was very successful at what he did. I remember years ago meeting a lady who described herself as a "ditto head," and I had no clue what she meant. Later, I realized she was trying to figure out where I stood politically.

A very fortunate man to have survived this wreck. A recognition to the manufacturer for the excellent safety engineering is certainly appropriate.
I know someone that should do a few targeted commercials for free, and be happy and glad to do so as soon as he can walk again, or, on second thought, maybe from his hospital bed, while people are paying attention.

Fell asleep in my chair this evening for a couple hours (not a work night), and made the mistake of getting up to get in bed. I should have known better and stayed in the chair. If I get 1 sound hour of sleep, my brain is recharged enough to be too active for me to sleep, no matter how tired my body is.

For those who don't regularly watch all the SpaceX activity, check this out: The amazing launch, re-entry maneuvers, and landing. The equally amazing explosion (somewhat expected).

I watch anything and everything having to do with launches. I watched those. 3rd. time is the charm didn't work this time, but one step closer, and they will figure out the delayed explosion after target landing. It will probably be something like residual vapor/short. In another life, I was very involved.
